Quote of the week and the week to come

“Everything you look at can be turned into a
story ... you can make a tale of everything you touch.” ~ Hans Christian Andersen, “The Elder Tree
Mother”

Classic fairy tale creator, Hans Christian
Andersen, (April 2, 1805 to Aug. 4, 1875) lived in Denmark and was a product of two towns, two
social environments, two worlds and two ages. He was not known for being a good student. Both as a man and as a writer he
thus continually developed and changed, but was also in constant dialogue with
himself and even at times at war with himself. Thus his social rise provides
the direct and indirect motif in many of his tales, novels and plays, both as a
productive source in his search for a new and more comprehensive identity and
as a source of perpetual and unresolved traumas. He is the legendary author of
such works as The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, Brothers Grim, Frozen, The
Snow Queen and many others.
